Recent wildfire outbreaks around the world have prompted concern that climate change is
increasing fire incidence, threatening human livelihood and biodiversity, and perpetuating …

Vegetation fires are an essential component of the Earth system but can also cause
substantial economic losses, severe air pollution, human mortality and environmental …

Climate change is exacerbating wildfire conditions, but evidence is lacking for global trends
in extreme fire activity itself. Here we identify energetically extreme wildfire events by …

Global warming is expected to alter wildfire potential and fire season severity, but the
magnitude and location of change is still unclear. Here, we show that climate largely …

Landscape fire is a widespread, somewhat unpredictable phenomena that plays an
important part in Earth's biogeochemical cycling. In many biomes worldwide fire also …

Fire is an essential Earth system process that alters ecosystem and atmospheric
composition. Here we assessed long-term fire trends using multiple satellite data sets. We …

The economic and ecological costs of wildfire in the United States have risen substantially in
recent decades. Although climate change has likely enabled a portion of the increase in …

Fires have influenced atmospheric composition and climate since the rise of vascular plants,
and satellite data have shown the overall global extent of fires. Our knowledge of historic fire …

Fire is a ubiquitous component of the Earth system that is poorly understood. To date, a
global-scale understanding of fire is largely limited to the annual extent of burning as …

Humans and their ancestors are unique in being a fire‐making species, but 'natural'(ie
independent of humans) fires have an ancient, geological history on Earth. Natural fires …
